Unexpected Boom On Way

Economic booms are usually defined by  “greater productivity,” increased foreign investment, “reasonable” interest rates, “energy production,” and “plentiful deregulation and tax cuts.”

But will any of this happen in 2026? Hanson predicts we’ll “see an economic bonanza” in 2026 as “there’s going to be more oil,”  “ new technologies,” and “all sorts of tax cuts” and “more deregulation than we’ve ever seen” in the Big Beautiful Bill on today’s episode of “Victor Davis Hanson: In a Few Words.”

“ Add it all up: We’ve had an unexpectedly—unexpectedly, unexpectedly—good third quarter. I imagine the fourth quarter might be just as good if it were not for the government shutdown—the longest in history—that occurred in the fourth quarter, but we’ll see.  But more importantly: More foreign investment, more tax cuts, more deregulation, more energy development, lower interest, and I think you’re gonna see an economic bonanza.”
